Hi

[Sarah93]

Hi guY's I was just after a bit of advice. I'm a 22 year old female. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree here but about 6 months I go I started to get acne and I've never had a problem with this before and the only thing I can think of around the time of this happening which could of caused this was the vape, it's probably not but does anyone else have this problem? Thank you very much

Welcome. I think you look as pretty as ever.

Welcome to ECF Sara! Never experienced an acne problem since starting vaping. I'm sure someone will be along shortly with some helpful info...

Called the Quit Zits. It happens and it will go away. Mine lasted a while. I was in my early 30s at the time and it was annoying, but at least I was doing something good for myself at the same time. Good luck!

Welcome to ECF Sarah. I too have never experienced Acne from vaping, however I do know that it can dry you out slightly and you need to consume more water while Vaping. So try drinking more Water which is a natural flush for any toxins that might be lurking in your body.
Hope that helps.
Enjoy the journey

Were you a previous smoker and did you go back to ciggies after you quit the vape?? Are there any stress factors currently pressing you? I get stress acne off and on nowadays. After a year and 1/2 of vaping I cannot pin any acne flares to vaping (not saying it can't be possible though).

Yes I quit the vape and went back to cigarettes? I'm only stressed because of this skin that's gone haywire and I don't know why

Sorry to hear this Sarah. I hope you reconsider your choice and give vapeing another try. IMO I seriously doubt that vapeing had anything to do with your skin condition. Their is nothing to gain to continue smoking. For your health give it another try, a lot of people here to help you

I've never been this depressed in my whole life it's horrid I had absolutely clear skin and up until many months ago things escalated and i'm only 22 what should be the best time of my life is the worst :'(

Maybe you need to visit a Dermatological forum. Or Mental Health.

God forbid yoy ever have to deal with this

We can hear how upset you are. To the best of my knowledge Vaping doesn't seem too bad for the skin. I did in fact know a 19 y.o. who was struggling and questioned switching from tobacco to vaping. In the end I'm sorry to say (for you) that it took quite heavy-duty medication. Do you know much in general about people who suffer after the normally expected period of time years after (post) puberty. I am always staggered by the numbers of people who suffer well into their 20s.
Good luck to you.
